We are a llama sanctuary located in Southwest Virginia on the Tennessee border, and are willing to offer support regarding the behavior, care, management and training of llamas. We have a portable chute for shearing and trimming toenails.
If we cannot help, we will try our best to find someone knowledgeable who can. We work with law enforcement and Animal Control to help capture any "found" or escaped llamas and can try to provide transportation to a temporary haven for them.
